Daniel Halliday

Opis

Daniel Halliday examines the morality of the right to bequeath or transfer wealth, and argues that inheritance is unjust to the extent that it enhances the intergenerational replication of inequality, concentrating opportunities in certain groups. He presents an egalitarian case for imposition of a significant inheritance tax.

Recenzje

Inheritance of Wealth offers fresh insights into the moral problem posed by inheritance. Halliday's analysis draws on traditional sources to challenge contemporary inequalities and usefully links economic segregation to the inheritance of wealth.
